    I'm glad you made this video, today I have scheduled a test drive to hopefully buy one so I can I can get my own plates. Tell me how did you free charging? And where are the best places to charge? And is it really cheaper than gas?

    • @VladTechGuy
      @VladTechGuy  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Free charging because they were offering it in September of last year. And it is cheaper/probably around hybrid cars 15-18$ for full.

    Hi
    do you have tesla wall charger at home? if not, are you restricted from super charger station at all? i wanted to purchase tesla too. but the problem is i need to recharge the car everyday. i am not sure if they are going to restrict me from using supercharger station since im going to use it to drive Uber as full time.

    • @VladTechGuy
      @VladTechGuy  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I was skeptical about it at first, but everyone told me that the restriction rule is lifted in new york. So I don't have a charger at home since I live in a building and I only use superchargers.

    I currently drive a 16' Highlander in NYC (TLC ) and I spend about 20 dollars per 8 - 10 hour shift so I've been looking at the model 3 for work. My only fear is the range for a full day of work. PS I plan to charge it overnight.

    • @VladTechGuy
      @VladTechGuy  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s more than enough for a day of work if you get the long range. You might have 100+ miles left on the car

      @jhonattanbrito2711 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@VladTechGuy Thanks for the reply. The long range might be a bit out of my price range unless I make a decent down payment. I wonder if the standard range plus 250 miles could be enough for a day's work.

    • @VladTechGuy
      @VladTechGuy  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I talked to a guy who was working morning shift with standard plus, he said he charges 2-3 times a day. So that might be annoying although if you charge before work you might have enough. Also, going off the information they gave me if you have good credit history then you don’t even need to give a down payment. Or you can honestly get away with 2-3k down, it’s just the payment is going to be 700-800$ a month for the long range

    Hey brother am driving too in nyc but paying 400 per week for renting a camry.
    So if I want to have tlc plates then I have to buy electric vehicle.
    So bro can you help me to decide that is it worth it to buy model 3 and driving it full time 6 days with low cost ?
    As my monthly expenditure is around 2200 for rent and fuel with camry as there is no insurance cost because the renting company is taking care of that as am paying them every week 400 bucks.
    Please help me to decide that is it worth it to buy a model 3 or not for full time 6 day driving?
